Well Done Tony - Local Pharmacist Interviewed on Radio

Last Friday I heard local community pharmacist, and former long serving member of our LPC, Tony Schofield on radio Newcastle doing an interview early in the morning about the proposed change in the law to treat driving under the influence of drugs/medicines more in line with that of alcohol.
 
Tony very eloquently discussed the range of prescription medicines which might cause drowsiness and reminded listeners of the importance to read the dispensing label and take responsibility for their actions! He said "cars are potentially a lethal weapon - and are dangerous if the people driving them are drowsy." 
 
Just because a doctor prescribes something for a condition, it's not a get-out-of-jail-free card to drive!
